keaton is a former Catamount. The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori. But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this. Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box. "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ. He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front. He would be a nice fit as a depth player. I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl. He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion. NFL Draft Buzz: "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type. The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later. They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep. To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious. Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks. -
Because it’s all bullshit and they know it’s bullshit. -
I'm hoping the Jets draft Warren over an OT, that way he won't be on the board WHEN (not if) we bypass him for a less polished player. BPA my arse. I know, I know, he might not be that high on our board, even though roughly 95% of all Big Boards I've seen has him at least a top 8 talent. VERY seldomly to I see him ranked lower than that. Granted he's slated to get drafted lower than that value simply because TE is a niche positional need. Again, Sanders is not a TE1, he's a TE2. I mean, we tried to make Ian Thomas a TE1 for how long? Thomas was at best a TE3, but we kept trying.
